Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 173. Demon Realm Trial (1)

“Quietness. The trial begins now.”

Baal looked over the judge.

In any trial, participants with frozen faces in a solemn atmosphere should be serious, but the Demon Realm trial was different.

from the participant.

There was one vacant seat for the judge who decides right or wrong, and the jury seat was so full of holes that you could tell at a glance.

Two judges, including Agares and Baal.

Barbatos, the juror, and Zefar, the 16th rank, who was in charge of the clan war at the shelter, and the 12th rank demon king Sitri, barely filled the eight.

The minimum condition for the Demon Realm Trial to be held was the attendance of 10 Demon Kings, so only the minimum Demon Kings gathered.

The sun tilted its head.

“Aren’t you more interested than you thought?”

“yes. It is my achievement in its own way.”

Dantalian laughed.

There were no lawyers and prosecutors at the Demon Realm trial.

This is because the Demon World Court, attended by more than 10 demon kings, has the characteristics of ‘forcing the truth’.

The truth compulsion characteristic is a system unique to the Demonic Court that 72 demon kings agreed to when creating the Demonic Court, and it was a destructive device that dealt damage to the soul in proportion to the soul whenever the soul who entered the court told a lie.

As the spirits of demon kings reached the level of transcendence, the proportionate blow was enormous.

Dantalian defends himself, and Furkas also acts as a prosecutor himself, arguing Dantalian’s guilt through the evidence and circumstances he finds.

If there is a lie in the process, it pays for it in real time.

It’s a simple process.

The point is to get the other person to testify without touching the subject against you.

The goal is to convince the judges and jurors.

The 12th rank Demon King Sitri, with an impressive charm point next to his eye, looked down at Dantalian, who was standing in court as a defendant with his arm crossed.

“Dantalian is not missing this time either.”

“Has the plaintiff been accused once or twice?”

A hoarse voice like scratching iron.

Jefar replied.

“Anyway, the demonic trial. I do it once in a while.”

“oh. You have a good memory too. I honestly forgot what this was all about.”

“Oops. good to remember Otherwise, those guys from below will come up and cut your nose.”

“Like Astaroth?”

Jefar nodded wordlessly.

The Demon World Trial was one of the first systems created after the seventy-two transcendents sorted out their ranks and put themselves under the label of Demon King.

And the system called the Demon Trial, which was created by the unification of these great workers, was hardly used after it was created.

The reason is represented by three incidents. One of them was the forced return of the 20 powers.

“okay. Just like the case of the forced return of the 20 powers back then.”

20 Forced Power Return Incident.

It started with a quarrel between Astaroth and Dantalian.

Instead of clashing with armed conflict, it ended with Astaroth’s one-sided insult, and Dantalian seemed to be the subject of ridicule by the demon lords, but the story changed when Dantalian referred Astaroth to the Pandemonium Trial.

At that time, Astaroth took over the dimension that other demon kings had already invaded and traveled around the dimensions to mine powers.

Since it was a demonic trial held at a time when perception was not bad yet, there were many demon kings who participated differently than now, and 15 demon kings among them were pointed out as victims.

Dantalian pointed out that the 20 Powers should be returned to the 15 demon lords, and regardless of the evidence Astaroth presented, Astaroth lost due to the jury’s judgment.

The conclusion is that only Astaroth, whose 20 powers were taken away with his eyes open, cried while the rest of the demon kings laughed.

It was also an event that once again proved Dantalian’s diabolical reputation for preparing a huge amount of data without any benefit to return to himself and causing Astaroth to fall into the abyss.

After this incident, Dantalian naturally became a being that many demon kings were reluctant to do, and the demon realm trial was not held at all.

It was because the atmosphere that it would be better to solve it with a one-on-one duel rather than a battle has formed if there is going to be a demonic trial.

Most of the demon kings reached the point of escape by force.

The thought spread among the demon lords that it would be better to coolly compare power than to return to the court space filled with the dignity of the 72 demon lords on their own feet and cover the right and wrong with only ‘mouth’.

Therefore, the Pandemonium Trial has become a system used only by demon lords who have quick profit and loss calculations and are confident in defeating their opponents with their mouths, such as Dantalian Purkas.

Baal, the demon king in the form of a minor, scratched his head.

“When Bassago first suggested it, it looked good. Now that I’ve come, it’s just a nuisance.”

Agares answered, raising his monocle.

“Weren’t you the one who most actively agreed with Baal Bassago?”

“So that is it. Back then, there were a lot of kids who jumped at me, so it was annoying. They’ll come after the kids below them, but they’re rushing to claim the first rank right away… … .”

Baal, whose words were mischievous, looked down at Purkas, who was sitting on the manuscript table.

“Anyway, I’m going to sue Dantalian.”

Baal scratched his cheek.

“Purkas hates any loss, even if he dies. A Dantalian who somehow draws blood from his opponent even if he sees blood. I thought it was a combination that would never come together.”

“Barbatos was involved.”

“Barbatos?”

“okay. It seems that the fact that Taeyang Yoon, a player from Earth, fell into the hands of Dantalian was quite a check.”

Baal looked down at Yoon Taeyang with a new face.

“I didn’t know because I was only watching the front line. Is that enough?”

“Looking at this situation, you must be saying it’s not normal.”

***

The process of the Pandemonium Trial was simpler than I thought.

To be honest, it fell short of Taeyang’s expectations.

“Player Taeyang Yoon had no intention of clearing the stage even after entering the 27th floor eradication stage. Although not mentioned separately, Yoon Taeyang’s behavior on stage reveals the truth. I knew that the stage was my invasion dimension, so I delayed clearing the stage to find out what dimension invasion weapon I sent.”

Purkas talked while playing the video on the stage.

Dantalian objected to this.

“no. As you would know if you watched the video, player Taeyang Yoon just carefully solved the stage. It was because I recognized the fact that the monster’s power level, which was named the first secondary host, was stronger than other enemies of a similar level that I had encountered so far.”

“It was too late for that to happen. Also, even after the purpose of the supercomputer became clear through the information collected from the stage, players including Yoon Taeyang did not move to defeat the target. Rather, he made a gesture as if he had something more to look for. This is proof of that.”

Furkas gave another piece of evidence, and Dantalian refuted it again.

A horse fight where you catch a horse by the tail.

This is the sentence that most accurately expresses the demonic trial that I have ever seen.

The tide seemed to be turning against Dantalian.

It was clear that Taeyang and the players acted to benefit from Purkas’ dimensional invasion.

Sometimes the intention that is not spoken but reflected through actions is rather clear.

Moreover, Dantalian also repeated his refutation with eloquent language, but that was all.

He did not point out Purkas’ fault.

The focus of the discussion was fixed on the stage progress of the sun, and because of this, it seemed to the third party that Dantalian was repeating his excuses.

And Furkas finally came up with the most important card.

– Purkasne.

-Looks like the devil sent it?

-yep.

– I think he should be suspicious too. It might be the demon lord.

-Really.

… … .

-But can the clearing process be twisted like this? What if I don’t hit the stage clear?

-It was also like that in the ogre village. Moving according to the devil’s intention and clearing are two different things.

… … .

-Are you an undead soldier?

-Ahhhhhhhh…

-The journal said that the first expedition failed, so you’re on the right track.

-and. It’s like real magic. Do scenes like this appear like magic only when you watch them while eating? Ha… I don’t know what number.

Jury member Barbatos asked the evidence Furkas had presented.

“What is this?”

“Player Taeyang Yoon is using a virtual reality device as a tool for earthlings to cross over into the dimensional labyrinth. Through virtual reality devices, earthlings can see what Taeyang Yoon is doing in the dimensional labyrinth in real time.”

Baal stroked his chin in interest.

“Wow, are you saying that humans on Earth are watching the scene of climbing the dimensional labyrinth no different from us?”

“Only for a few players from Earth. What matters is this text.”

– Purkasne.

-Looks like the devil sent it?

-yep.

– I think he should be suspicious too. It might be the demon lord.

It is a scene where viewers doubt Urf.

“The natives of Earth say that we should be suspicious that the natives of the dimension are not followers of the demon lord. In other words, this text can be the strongest evidence that player Yoon Taeyang had some kind of conversation with the demon king Dantalian before entering the 28th floor.”

When Purkas mentioned the sun’s broadcasting chat window, chatting started pouring in.

-? that we were wrong?

-Evande.

– Judge, we don’t know anything.

-That chat was clicked by my house cat… Really…

Baal’s eyes twinkled.

“Aha, that’s it. It’s fun. Agares. Shall we create a system where we can share opinions in real time while watching the stage?”

“I won’t stop you if you’re entirely in charge of making it.”

As he spoke, Agares snapped his fingers.

At the same time, the chat window froze.

Agares, who understood the correlation between the sun and earth virtual reality devices and the broadcasting system just by skimming for a moment, magically intervened with administrator authority and stopped the chatting.

An insight that is obviously not common sense.

Agares continued speaking in a plain tone.

“I’m on trial right now, so let’s think about it later.”

Dantalian raised his hand.

“I refute Purkas’s opinion. From the player’s point of view, there is a possibility that all beings on the stage are the devil’s minions. To give advice on the actions of player Taeyang Yoon… … .”

“no. If so, even before meeting Urf… … .”

With conclusive evidence, the two demon kings began to raise their voices.

and.

thud.

As the jury stood, Barbatos stood up.

“There is nothing more to see. Dantalian is guilty. Dantalian received three powers that he lost and one power that he was able to obtain in return for interfering with Purkas’s power mining business. Reward a total of 4 powers and dispose of tool player Yoon Tae-yang, who interfered with Purkas’s mining business.”

“I agree.”

“me too.”

“me too.”

At the same time as Barbatos’ proposal, three more demon kings arose.

“Zefar?”

Sitri looked up at Jeppard, who smiled awkwardly.

“Isn’t this the reason why the demon realm trial was abandoned?”

The proportion of judges and jurors in demonic trials is 1:1.

Two judges and eight jurors.

Considering the influence of Baal, the judge, it won’t fall exactly 1:1, but it’s roughly the same level.

Realizing the situation, Baal scratched his nose.

“Agares, are you also on the side of Purcas? Are you on the side of Barbatos?”

Agares didn’t answer.

But even Baal knew that Agares was on good terms with Barbatos.

It was impossible for Purkas to gain the support of the demon lords with his own strength.

However, Barbatos, who has influence over other demon lords, is different.

Purkas has already bet on Dantalian with 50% of the decision and perfect evidence.

In other words, I waged a fight I would never lose.

Five out of 72.

It may not seem like a big number, but the reality is different.

Demon kings are beings with strong independence as much as their status, and it was not easy to see them moving for others.

“I prepared quite a bit.”

Baal asked the others.

“rest of it?”

Sitri pursed her lips slightly and raised her hand.

“I want to hear more testimonies.”

“Need to hear more?”

The other Demon Lords sitting in the jury seat wrinkled their noses.

It was because I realized that it was a trial that had already been concluded.

“By the way, Dantalian lost. It’s going to be a hot topic.”

“Should I say I’m lucky to have seen a scene like this myself?”

Barbatos smiled lightly.

The mace of the Pandemonium Court always deals fatal damage to the soul in question.

Although the blows inflicted are weakened in proportion to the attack, the level is always fatal to the soul concerned.

If you tell lies, Yun Taeyang will die.

If the truth is told, Yoon Taeyang will die.

The goal of Barbatos is to be achieved unconditionally.

Judge Baal opened his mouth.

“Player Yoon Taeyang.”

For the first time since the beginning of the trial, attention was focused on someone who was not a transcendent.

“Testify.”
